SPARROWBUSH — The ferocious Delaware River took its fourth victim of 2013 Saturday.

A young man from New Jersey drowned after tiring out during a swim in the river.

Sparrowbush Assistant Fire Chief James Oosterom said Jamel Rounds, 21, and nine others from a Patterson church group had come up to frolic in the Delaware for the day.

Rounds’s mother was part of the multigenerational trip, and she told firefighters that her son became tired, cramped up, and sunk five feet to the bottom of the river around 1:15 p.m.

A young man with the church group tried to rescue Rounds, Oosterom said, but failed.

The group began screaming for help, Oosterom said, prompting a resident on Sleepy Hollow Road to call 911.

At least 50 firefighters from five companies responded, Oosterom said, and accurately pinpointed where Rounds had drowned. Within ten minutes, Oosterom said emergency responders had located Rounds’s body and carried him to shore.

Firefighters performed CPR on Rounds, and placed him onto an ambulance to Bon Secours Hospital in Port Jervis.

“Everybody tried to give this young man his life back,” Oosterom said.

But when the ambulance arrived at the hospital, police said Rounds was pronounced dead.

Rounds was the third person recovered from the Delaware in the past eight days.

The body of Daven Harrison, 20, was seen Monday, two days after the Irish citizen left his rafting group to try a swim.

And the body of Shawn Martin, 29, of Beech Lake, Pa., was recovered Aug. 10, nearly two months his kayak flipped in a tributary of the Delaware.

Christopher Montalvo, 29, of Middletown died July 10, one day after medics revived him from being submerged in the Delaware for 25 minutes.

More than 60 people have drowned in the Upper Delaware since 1980, and only a few were wearing life jackets.
